Well aren’t they tricksy, filming them out of order and confusing us all! 😛

It certainly seems that way. 😆 It’s possible that they had to do that because of someone not being available until later, but it could possibly be to confuse fans. I think it worked because I know a lot of fans were mad at the absence of Belle in any of the “first” episode scenes.

I don’t think the order of the title cards means anything. Is that why people think sleeping beauty is the first episode? The producers even said that they are going to introduce the new characters through the already known main cast, so they aren’t going to do a bunch of side character episodes first.

Mulan was shown before Sleeping Beauty in that sequence. We’re saying Sleeping Beauty is ep 1 because the casting for Prince Phillip said it was for 2×01. There wouldn’t be much point introducing Prince Phillip in an ep that didn’t feature the Sleeping Beauty story.

Unless Prince Phillip has his own back-story which is separate from Princess Aurora’s. The writers made a separate backstory for Prince Charming/James in S1XE06 – The Shepherd.

On another note, here is some more speculation about what could be going on regarding Emma and SW’s whereabouts:

Emma & Snow – What’s Happened To Them?

This fits with what I have been hearing about most of Jen and Ginny’s scenes being filmed indoors on green screen. We know they have filmed together because they said they got soaked.
I have had a feeling they may have disappeared from Storybrooke for a while now. Perfect way to keep the Charming/Snow love story going and explains why Henry is with Charming. We know these writers love to rip characters apart. Think Sun/Jin in Lost and we may get an idea of where the Snow/Charming story is heading this season.

“Why is Charming running after the Mad hatter? It seems the Mad Hatter knows something about the whereabouts of Ginnifer Goodwin’s Snow White and Jennifer Morrison’s Emma Swan, who are nowhere to be seen in Storybrooke. What’s happened to them? We’ll have to wait until season two begins airing to find out”. – YVR Shoots

Don’t think these pics have been posted yet:

During the scene Josh goes into Mr. Gold’s Pawn Shop and comes out with a magic potion.

😮 Another potion! You’d think the guy would learn not to mess around with magic – especially since SW drank a potion to forget Charming and the price was so high that he took an arrow for her and could’ve died. Perhaps Charming is searching for MM and Emma, and they only way to get them back is to resort to asking Mr. Gold for magic. Based on other spoilers, we know PC goes after Jefferson, presumably to locate his girls, who could’ve been transported outside of SB when magic arrived.

This fits with what I have been hearing about most of Jen and Ginny’s scenes being filmed indoors on green screen. We know they have filmed together because they said they got soaked. I have had a feeling they may have disappeared from Storybrooke for a while now.

Also another idea just occurred to me as I was thinking about where SW and Emma could be. We know we’re supposed to meet the Little Mermaid in S2 based on some early spoilers from Comic-Con. Also, there was a tweet from Ginny Goodwin that she was “getting soaked” with Jennifer Morrison. Since magic is unpredictable, what if they somehow were transported to Atlantica and transformed into mermaids, and that’s how we meet Ariel?! 💡 I know it sounds completely hair-brained, but it’s just the fan-girl in me wishing to see the Little Mermaid. In S1, we saw several doors to other worlds, one of which some speculated could be the underwater realm of the mermaids. Also, the Evil Queen hinted in 1×12 that she had to see about a “certain mermaid” and Lana Parrilla has stated in interviews that she’d love to play Ursula.

What if the potion that PC gets is one to turn Emma and SW back into their human forms?! Now I know I’m just jumping to conclusions. 😉

Not necessarily. I mean sometimes characters are introduced in episodes before they have their episode. That is normal. Pinocchio was introduced well before we actually had his episode. I just think it is unlikely that they are going to do a completely new story that none of the main characters are involved with in the fairytale land in the first episode.

Season 1 was a different beast though, because they had to introduce the core group of characters all at the start, so of course we met most of them before we got to hear their specific stories. Now that that core group is established and the storyline is in full swing, there’s not really a point in introducing new characters many episodes before their own story is featured, especially if Aurora and Phillip are only gonna get about as much airtime as Cinderella and Thomas did. In that case, Phillip wouldn’t be significant enough to get a premature introduction in a non-Sleeping Beauty ep.

As for Sleeping Beauty having nothing to do with the main characters, I think it would actually be a perfect parallel storyline for them to tell in FTL, while everyone in SB is in the process of waking up from the curse.
